Enhancing Gender Statistics

NCAER’s National Data Innovation Centre (NDIC), in collaboration with the Social Statistics Division, Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), is organising a two-day conference on “Enhancing Gender Statistics” on 15–16 January 2026 at the NCAER campus in New Delhi. The conference will bring together policymakers, statisticians, researchers, and practitioners to discuss key challenges in measuring and using gender data. Through a series of technical sessions and discussions, the programme will explore issues related to women’s economic empowerment, gender biases in data collection, new and emerging data sources, gender and human capital, the Sustainable Development Goals, and evolving policy priorities. The conference aims to encourage exchange across institutions and disciplines, and to strengthen approaches to producing and using gender-responsive statistics in India.
